Hi everyone, I am just about ready to start my hunt for a good plastic surgeon. I live in Gretna Louisiana (New Orleans) and if anyone knows of a good doctor that does Panniculectomy and Brachroplasty (abdomen and upper arms) in this area please let me know. Thanks guys.

Wow this hit the nail right on the head. I do believe that a lot of overweight people are emotional eaters and that unless we tackle the reason we eat and replace that coping mechanism with something some healthy then we are more or less doomed. I was in counseling for 2 years before being banded and then for 1 year after but money issues stopped that. I am a 58 year old daughter of a Narcissistic mother and have lots of issues emotional eating being one of them. If I understood the correlation between emotional problems and the success of WLS I may have made sure that the money was available for my continued therapy. I am struggling now to get back on track after putting about 22 pounds back on. I hope this group will help me get my act together.

Use Crystal Light Sunrise Orange in a cup of 1% milk 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (I use EAS WHEY) and lots of ice in the bullet. OMG it is sooooo good. For an extra treat put just a little squirt of Redi-Whip on top. I think this would be less calories then using the orange juice. Try it and let me know what you think please 　

Do we have to formally enter this contest?:thumbup: If so how? Sure would be nice to win this to use at the gym since I really can't afford one right now. :confused:

OJ has a lot of sugar so we use orange crystal light and the vanilla protien power (EAS)and sometimes carb smart vanilla ice cream (Bryers) it is great.

hi I also live on LA and woill be needing some plastic surgery done when I reach goal (about 30 more pounds) I especially need my upper arms done. Any infor you have or receive I would appreciate. You can e-mail me at cleoet@hotmail.com Thanks for your help. Mary
